5/ Many obvious security flaws I'm sure - I'm neither a cryptographer nor security expert. Just enjoyed exploring :) Kinda inspired by work with Cloudflare workers

4/ Just an experiment in composing existing tools (keyring, git, RSA) rather than building new platform.

3/ System keyring could hold private keys, public keys enable sharing. Git handles distribution:
```
for pub_key in team.keys() {
let encrypted = pub_key.encrypt(value)?;
secret.add(username, encrypted);
}
```
```
for pub_key in team.keys() {
let encrypted = pub_key.encrypt(value)?;
secret.add(username, encrypted);
}
```

2/ Core idea is straightforward: store per-user encrypted values locally.
```
struct Secret {
encrypted_values: HashMap<String, String>, // username -> encrypted
environment: String
}
```
```
struct Secret {
encrypted_values: HashMap<String, String>, // username -> encrypted
environment: String
}
```

1/ Most secret managers are cloud-first. Was wondering if we could do simpler: local encryption + git for small teams

The biggest deals often start with the smallest commitments. Nature of trust maybe.

Starting to think "land and expand" isn't a strategy. Just trust compounding. POCs often optimize for wrong things. Not about features checked - about confidence built.

No shame in "service enabled". Trust is human first. Champion needs support, then product license. Careful when you structure offer to be able to phase out support slowly.

$50k might be sweet-spot number? Small enough to stay under radar. Big enough to matter. What have you seen? Have yet to see a counter-example.

Pretty convinced the best enterprise deals start with someone just actually caring to solve their champions most pressing problems. - Everything else comes later.

OSS is a trust factory running at scale. How do you turn stars into champions?
Magic moment when a developer becomes a champion in their org. They shift from "cool tech" to "I can solve real problems with this."
